Coffee is one of the most beloved beverages around the world, not only for its rich flavor but also for the energizing effect of its caffeine.
Interestingly, recent research suggests that coffee might also play a role in reducing the risk of liver disease, adding another potential benefit to its list.
The liver is essential for our well-being, tasked with filtering toxins, aiding digestion, and regulating metabolism. Conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, and cirrhosis comprise what we know as liver disease.
These conditions can severely impair the liver’s function over time. Consequently, finding preventative measures against liver disease is a significant focus in medical research.
Studies involving hundreds of thousands of individuals have indicated that those who drink coffee regularly, whether caffeinated or decaffeinated, have a lower risk of developing liver disease.

COFFEE!
Is there anything it can’t do?
>I haven’t had three or four cups in my life!
peets.com might have a beginner’s kit. Stay away from starbucks.
I’m finishing a large cup-o-joe as I read this. 5:28pm
Funny how the “increased amounts of coffee are good for you” schtick started in the Obama administration, and is ramping up in his third term.
It’s nice to be hooked on something that good for me
My dad taught me to drink it black. I have just two in the morning and it’s a deep roast like #5 Seattle’s Best. Heavy and rich.
MRSA is walking with death in your pocket.
I am down from pots per day to two reasonably large mugs in the morning. The little kureig refillable cups help but I stick to my old Folgers. I dislike cleaning the little wire cups but make two each morning and leave it at that. By the time I nurse two mugs while reading and such I’m ready to face the rest of the day.
But how?
Im a lot older than the Obama administration and remember that when I was young 90%+ of what adults drank, at least on work days, was coffee.
Good for you!👍 Coffee didn’t do me much good, I have a drastically overactive immune system. It ultimately cost me my liver. I was on the transplant list for four years and received a new liver May 23, 2021. It could happen again, but not likely. I still drink my 2-4 cups a day, however. Life is good!
This WILL NOT go over well with the anti-Coffee Karens.
That’s the unanswered question out of the media. Before Obama’s terms FWIR, the message was mostly to restrict coffee intake.
Not to mention, “knowridge.com” dates back only to 2016.
My dad also taught us to drink it black. He told us we might be out on a military patrol or forest fire fighting crew someday “and there won’t be any *** **** cream and sugar! Learn to drink it black!” He had stories of being on patrol in Germany right after the war and boiling water in bucket, dumping in the coffee, then cold water to settle the grounds.
3 - 4 cups? I hope their not meaning actual measuring cups. My morning mug is at least 3 measuring cups, and that’s just the starter.
I produced bile. She’s 32 now and a kickass stay-at-home mom and homeschools 3 boys. Their dad will teach them to bow hunt and shoot a gun.
All because of coffee. :)
I have a 20 oz coffee cup. Some expresso cups hold less than 3 oz. Also a 200 lb. man might want more than a 100 lb. person. They might mean 8-oz cups. In that case “around three to four cups daily” would mean 24-32 oz. But then there is decaf vs. caffeinated, and of course body size,
I have a 40 cup coffee maker from my years of event planning for work and from when hubby was President and I was the secretary for our local GOP party. We drink so much coffee at my house, he says we should dig it out and just put it on the counter and keep it going. I’m tempted to do so.
It’s good to know that all the coffee is good for our liver.
Mine weaned me off milk and sugar for that reason. He did it by slowly limiting the milk and sugar and after a while I actually began to taste the coffee, not the additives.
